I had a choice between two options: “not” and “again”. (1) ‘We are not going back.’ And (2) ‘Making … great again.’ The last word is the most important one in that slogan.So what’s wrong with that? One option is stuck in the status quo. The other one suggests to disrupt the status quo by going backward.
for - voting - false dichotomy - no real choice - need for a third otion
voting - false dichotomy - no real choice - need for a third option - We are not going back can imply one of two possibilities: - we are staying still (status quo) - we are moving forward in a new direction (emergence) - We are going to Make America Great Again (going back) - We can't go back because we have degraded our world beyond that possibility - We can't stay still because it is untenable - We can only move forward - But that option was not given - This goes to the heart of Yanis Varoufakis, Michel Bauwen and many other's claim that there is only one party in control of both the Democrats and the Republicans, the elites

for - interview - Yanis Varoufakis - 2008 financial crisis was the West's 1991 moment
summary - Yanis talks about how the 2008 financial crisis was a milestone for capitalism. He claims that it defined the beginning of the end of Capitalism, in the same way that 1990 defined the beginning of the end of Soviet-style communism.
-
I'm saying that 2008 was to capitalism that which 1991 was to Soviet communism it's end
for - communism died in 1991 - but capitalism died in 2008 - It cannot be revived - Yanis Varoufakis

leaving students with little room to develop their own approaches to answering the question
See previous note.
The danger is that students might often need coaching on specific skills, which can be very difficult for a teacher to managce in one setting. As a result, many opt for the more recipe-based result.
-
They require a question or problem that serves to organize and drive activities; and these activities result in a series of artifacts, or products, that culminate in a final product that addresses the driving question.
Everything is working toward answering the driving question. The problem is that schools often dilute those questions or potential solutions to align with "the content" rather than allowing students to explore authentically.

Drawing analogies from everyday learning, researchers argue that knowledge is contextualized; that is, learners construct knowledge by solving complex problems in situations in which they use cognitive tools, multiple sources of information, and other individuals as resources
When we're solving problems out of school, we have several contexts which play into our understanding. Using this idea, we can structure learning experiences in school the same way - to engage students in multiple contexts for learning complex ideas.

Michael Buckland coined in 1991 the phrase "information as thing" and discussed this concept in relation to evidence.

Forester 1991 asserted that "over $300 billion a year is now spent worldwide on computers and communication hardware and software, but it's doubtful whether more than 300 researchers around the world are studying the impact of all this spending on the economy and society at large" (preface, p. iv)
Not true any more!

Librarianship, in contrast, follows a more service-ori-ented and empowerment-oriented value system.
Makes me think how Shilton's work on social values in design, which feels scientific to me.

It is not asserted that sorting areas of information science with respect to their relationship to informa- tion-as-thing would produce clearly distinct popula- tions. Nor is any hierarchy of scholarly respectability intended.
It does seem implied though. The activity of objectifying information is a useful fulcrum for discovering the topology of information systems. But I suspect that one could have written similar papers using one of the other cells of his matrix? Or perhaps it wouldn't have been concrete enough? Is information as thing a requirement for information science? Science after all is the study of the physical universe, the things. Could there be a science of information without treating information as a thing? It makes me think of the role of the observer in quantum mechanics. Also, Kuhn's paradigm shifts. We can't really write ourselves out of the equation can we?
-
These differences provide one basis for the comparative analysis of information storage and retrieval systems.

ultimately information systems, including “expert systems” and information re- trieval systems, can deal directly with information only in this sense
Is this really true? Don't people interact with these systems all the time? Aren't they used as communication devices between people now all the time? I could imagine someone saying that information is never just a thing, but always part of a process.
-
“Information-as-thing”, then, is meaningful in two senses: (1) At quite specific situations and points in time an object or event may actually be informative, i.e., constitute evidence that is used in a way that affects someone’s beliefs; and (2) Since the use of evidence is predictable, albeit imperfectly, the term “information” is commonly and reasonably used to denote some popu- lation of objects to which some significant probability of being usefully informative in the future has been at- tributed.
This sounds spot on, but it doesn't sounds like information as thing anymore. It has people as a fundamental part of the equation.
-
As a practical matter some consensus is needed to agree on what to collect and store
So the problem of scoping information is really an economical problem of what do we store, what do we keep, and what do we forget and let go of.
-
ut, as noted above, we could in principle say that of any object or document:
Why is this a problem though? Aren't there a universe of "situations"? Why would we want to constrain them?
-
Therefore we retain our simpler view of “in- formation-as-thing” as being tantamount to physical evidence: Whatever thing one might learn from (Orna & Pettit, 1980, p. 3)
Why is that simpler? I would've thought the broader definition was simpler to justify.

-
Indeed it would be a logical development of current trends in the use of computers to expect a blurring of the distinction between the retrieval of the results of old analyses and the presentation of the results of a fresh analysis
Not only that, but computer systems and networks are so complex that information itself is becoming event like in its dependencies and contingencies.
-
How different the study of history would be if they could!
Why is it useful to think of documents separate from the events that created them, and the events that they participate in?
-
Hence “document” originally denoted a means of teach- ing or informing, whether a lesson, an experience, or a text.
It's almost as if something must be made into a document in order for it to be observed in a particular way. Or that looking at something in a particular way turns it into a document.
-
On this view objects are not ordinarily documents but become so if they are processed for informational purposes.
This seems key.
-
ny concrete or symbolic indication, preserved or recorded, for reconstructing or for proving a phe- nomenon, whether physical or mental.
ahh, now this is more like it ; what role does reconstructing play here. Did he translate "représenter" as reconstruct? They seem quite different.

It is wise not to assume any firm distinction between data, docu- ment, and text.
Why is it wise to not distinguish between them, but to distinguish between different uses of the word information?

Suddenly struck by the role of the forensic imagination in this definition of information.

Authentic for what purpose? So much to unpack here.

Oxford English Dictionary,
It is truly interesting the degree to which Buckland uses the dictionary, which is such a socially constructed thing.

trace.
Latour again ; aren't these traces part of a network of activity? Can they really be thought of outside of it, independent of the context they were created in? Why is it necessary?
-
Further, the term “evidence” implies passiveness. Evidence, like information-as-thing, does not do any- thing actively. Human beings do things with it or to it.
Is evidence truly not doing anything? Reminds me of non-human actors in Latour.
-
reverse the process and ask people to identify the things by or on account of which they came to be in- formed.
This reversal makes the assumption that something informed them?
-
However, the representation is no more knowledge than the film is the event. Any such representation is necessarily in tangible form (sign, sig- nal, data, text, film, etc.) and so representations of knowledge (and of events) are necessarily “information- as-thing.”
Don't these information things need to have people around to make them information?
-
lan- guages evolve
This seems to be quite an admission, that the whole study of information as it rests on language is deeply contingent -- and somewhat unscientific?
-
But if the principal uses can be identified, sorted, and characterized, then some progress might be made.
So this paper is itself an information processing problem. Why does information science always have to feel like mirrors pointed at mirrors, or a Borgesian nightmare?
